Grapfic Import

I am using VV2.0h, and I don't know how
to edit the Grapfic improted from Photoshop in VV?
It is always placed on the center of the video, but I want the Grapfic at the Button of it. So how can I move it more down....???

And it dosen't is transparent, also the File itself .psd is transparend. In VV I always see a white Background which I don't want. What's the solution on that?

To position the graphic, use the pan & crop tools. Drag the crop rectangle
larger than the graphic, then move it up. This will position the graphic in
the lower portion of the crop rectangle.

As far as transparency, i'm not really sure since i've never used .psd
graphics. However, if you save the image as a .gif file, you can set one
color to be transparent and Vegas will use that transparency correctly.

after you drag your still photo onto the time-line, right click on the clip and go to Pan/Crop properties. then adjust the rectangle to position your graphic.

gif will limit your to 256 colors... you probably don't want to do that.

PNG is the best format to use with Vegas. save your PSD file as a PNG from photoshop and try that.

try making your graphic's file size 720x480 in your graphics editor and just place the graphic where you want it THEN, in the editor...so when you import the graphic file into VV, the graphic will be right where you want it...

as far as the transparency thing, you could always chroma-key out the white to get transparency (more of a quick fix than a permanent solution)

Thank's for your answers.
I still don't know how to get the grapfic
in VV of the entire video size by good quality?
First I format the grapfic at the Trimmer, and then edit all other grapfics with the crop/pan tool.
Also they do fit now size I want, the grapfics (.psd, .png, .gif files) has lost of quality.
What can i do now?

when do you see the loss of quality?

in the final video?
(this could be from whatever compression you used to render the video)

or in the preview monitor?
(change the preview window setting to BEST and see what it looks like)
